"I mean, first of all, the office is more important than any individual person. And so for the sake of the office of the presidency, I do think that's too much of a sideshow and distraction and he needs to be able to concentrate on his due process and there is a presumption of innocence," Hutchinson said.
Hutchinson, who was governor of the southern state from 2015 until early this year after previously serving in the US House of Representatives, said he would make his formal announcement in Arkansas later this month but has decided to run. "I have made a decision, and my decision is I'm going to run for president of the United States," Hutchinson said."I'm convinced that people want leaders that appeal to the best of America, and not simply appeal to our worst instincts."Hutchinson, who has criticised Trump in the past, made it clear on Sunday he would not shrink, as a candidate, from confronting him.
Asked whether Trump should step aside, Hutchinson said,"Well, he should, but at the same time, we know he's not." A Trump political action committee, the Make America Great Again PAC, hit back at Hutchinson later on Sunday, tapping one of Trump's favourite epitaphs for his Republican critics, calling him a RINO, or Republican In Name Only.The other Republicans who have launched campaigns for the party's 2024 nomination include former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley and activist investor Vivek Ramaswamy.
